The life of a peasant girl reborn

Chapter 226 What Happened in Meng Mansion and Shen Mansion (1)
"But is this engagement a fake?" Fourth Master Meng asked hesitantly.

"Don't worry about the fourth child, even if the marriage contract is fake, so what, he is so old, it's good to have a marriage now, not to mention that girl Yao'er is also good." The second master Meng persuaded.

Master Meng San who was sitting next to him didn't say much when he heard the conversation of several people, he just followed the trend.What's more, he is a concubine himself, and he is inferior to other people in front of his concubine, so it is inconvenient to say anything he wants to say.

The four brothers discussed for another half an hour before they dispersed.Back in their respective rooms, they talked a few more words with their respective wives.Especially Mrs. Meng, specially asked Mrs. Meng to dress Miss Meng Wu, Meng Xiaoyao, at one o'clock tomorrow.After receiving Mrs. Meng's promise, Master Meng fell asleep in peace.

After the Meng Mansion fell into silence, several shadows flashed out of the mansion, and these were the people Mo Yan sent to inquire about the news.After returning to Xue's mansion, Mo Yan immediately went to Xue Yaoxi to report the news they found, and also made a special investigation on Miss Meng Wu.

"You mean that the engagement is fake? Miss Meng Wu is a concubine?" Xue Yaoxi asked for confirmation after listening to Mo Yan's report.

"Yes, master, these are all heard by the subordinates themselves. When they discuss this matter together, Elder Meng said it himself." Mo Yan told the source of the news, affirming that the news is correct.

In fact, Mo Yan is now full of puzzles about those people in the Meng Mansion, and he doesn't understand how their brains grow.How do you think?Want to win over your own master, but let the concubine perform the marriage, what does this mean?Even if the master's mother made an appointment for the master when he was a child, it is impossible to order a concubine daughter?
"Okay, go down and rest first." Xue Yaoxi was silent for a while, and then ordered Mo Yan.

"Yes." Mo Yan obeyed.Exit after responding.Xue Yaoxi is alone in the study, and those of them who are subordinates don't have to worry, there are hidden guards guarding in the dark.

After seeing Mo Yan leave, Xue Yaoxi put down his work.Look at the oil lamp on the table.The bright fire light was in a daze, lost in thought, and was sorting out some materials of the Meng Mansion.

The Meng Mansion is now the master of the family, Xue Yaoxi's uncle, and Xue Yaoxi's grandfather and grandmother have long since passed away.Elder Meng Meng Wenfeng is now the servant of the Ministry of War, and he is a third-rank official. Because Xue Yaoxi is currently staying in the barracks and is linked to the Ministry of War, Elder Meng thought of marrying him.Although Xue Yaoxi's current position is low, but he is young, and after staying in the military camp for a few years, the position will gradually rise up.

Meng Wenyu, the second master of Meng, is the second uncle of Xue Yaoxi's direct relative. He is currently working as a part-time job in the Ministry of Industry and has nothing to do every day.The third master Meng Wende is a concubine who doesn't have much room in the mansion, so he helps the fourth master Meng manage the properties of the Meng mansion.The fourth master of Meng, Meng Wenhao, is the younger uncle of Xue Yaoxi's direct relative, and manages all the external properties of the Meng Mansion.

Xue Yaoxi had a falling out with the Zhen Guo government and severed ties, Master Meng knew about these things.Ever since Xue Yaoxi recovered from his illness, the Meng family has been paying attention to him.Master Meng wanted to win over Xue Yaoxi before his position was raised, and the last way was to get married.After much deliberation, she pushed out the concubine Fifth Miss Meng Xiaoyao.As for Meng Xiaowei, the first daughter, Mr. Meng is not willing to part with it, he still wants Meng Xiaowei to climb another high branch.

Master Meng Er and Master Meng Si also have daughters, but they haven't reached the age of Ji, or they are already married, so they have no relationship with Xue Yaoxi.The third young master Meng did have a prostitute who was of a suitable age, but the eldest master Meng chose to ignore it.Apart from not wanting this kind of "good thing" to be taken over by the third young master Meng, he also wanted to save face.

In order to conceal Meng Xiaoyao's identity, Mr. Meng issued an order: the fifth young lady, Meng Xiaoyao, will be recorded under Mrs. Meng's name and promoted to be a daughter-in-law, and order the servants in the mansion not to reveal this matter in front of Xue Yaoxi, otherwise she will never be taken lightly. spare.

The next day, when Xue Yaoxi's figure appeared in the Meng Mansion, it was already Si hour, and there was not much time left for lunch.At this time, several masters of the Meng Mansion had gloomy expressions on their faces.For today's matter, Master Meng has been waiting in the mansion since he left the court early.But waiting and waiting, the few people who were waiting were impatient, and only then did they hear the voice of the servants coming to report.

Xue Yaoxi was ushered into the living room by the butler, and the Meng family members in the living room shot Xue Yaoxi with eyes, evaluating from the bottom of their hearts.Xue Yaoxi could see the expressions of the masters of the Meng Mansion, and he would never admit that his behavior today was intentional.

Since listening to Mo Yan's report last night, Xue Yaoxi has been very angry with Meng Fu's behavior.Today, after Xue Yaoxi had breakfast, he went to the study, where he has been dealing with affairs.It was only after Mo Yan reminded the hour three times that he got up and came to Meng Mansion.Since they wanted to plot against him, they had to accept his "revenge." Anyway, they didn't clearly inform him of the time to arrive at the Meng Mansion yesterday, so these people can wait as long as they want, a piece of flesh is indispensable, Xue Yaoxi justified in his heart.

"Junior Xue Yaoxi has met the masters of the Meng Mansion!" Xue Yaoxi greeted several people after entering the living room.The tone was ordinary, and he didn't look excited when he saw "family."

Hearing Xue Yaoxi's greeting, several masters of the Meng Mansion frowned instinctively. The second master Meng wanted to say something, but was silently stopped by the words of the first master Meng.After all, the most important thing for them today is their marriage, and the rest can be ignored for the time being.

"Yaoxi, why are you here now?" Mr. Meng asked the dignified Xue Yaoxi in a "gentle" tone, as if looking at his own son.

Mr. Meng made a good plan and wanted to take the opportunity to draw closer to each other, but Xue Yaoxi didn't cooperate and couldn't do what he wanted.

"Master Meng, you are being polite, we are not that close, you should call me Young Master Xue!" Xue Yaoxi did not answer Master Meng's question, but refuted the address between the two.

As soon as these words fell, the expressions of everyone in the hall became wonderful.Mo Zhu and Mo Yan stood behind Xue Yaoxi, the corners of their mouths trembled when they heard this, if it wasn't for the wrong occasion, the two would probably laugh out loud.The first master Meng was choked by these words, and the hypocritical smile on his face retreated; because the fourth master Meng usually dealt with different people, the expression on his face did not change much after hearing these words, he just looked at Xue Yaoxi's face. There was disapproval in the eyes; Master Meng Er's reaction was the most direct, and he directly reprimanded Xue Yaoxi.

"What are you talking about? The people sitting here are all your uncles, your elders, are there any juniors like you who talk to the elders? You came late without even explaining, and even spoke to the elders Rebuttal, is this your etiquette?" Second Master Meng's fiery temper burst into flames, he stood up and bombarded Xue Yaoxi.
